Shiraito Falls: Located at the foot of Mount Raizan in Itoshima, this waterfall gets its name from its shape, resembling a white silk ribbon flowing down the mountainside—a truly beautiful sight. The air around the falls is fresh and rich in negative ions, making it a wonderful place to relax and unwind. Visitors can breathe in the fresh air of nature and experience its tranquility and beauty.
Raizan Senruji Daibeiwangin Temple: This temple boasts over 1300 years of history and is an important Buddhist holy site in the Kyushu region. The Thousand-Armed Kannon statue and the vibrant autumn foliage are particularly famous, making it a must-visit for locals and tourists alike. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in a rich historical and cultural atmosphere, offer sincere prayers, and enjoy inner peace.
The "Coconut Tree Swing" is located on the coastline. A wooden swing is suspended between two tall coconut trees, with an endless blue sky and sea behind it, making you feel like you are in a tropical paradise.
Totoro Forest Trail and Akuta-ya Gate: Strolling through it feels like stepping into the world of Hayao Miyazaki's film "My Neighbor Totoro." The dense forest and tranquil environment make you feel like you're in a fairytale. Afterwards, we will visit Akuta-ya Gate, one of Japan's three largest basalt formations, shaped like a gate, which is truly magnificent. It's also a favorite spot for photography enthusiasts, so feel free to take some photos.
Sakurai Futamiura - Motooboshi Rocks: These two rocks symbolize the beautiful relationship between husband and wife, and the rope connecting them represents the bond of marriage. Here, you can feel the refreshing sea breeze and the powerful force of nature; it's also a great place to pray for a happy marriage.
The sea is calm in spring and turbulent in winter, and the changing scenery with the seasons makes Futamiura a popular spot for taking photos.
I recommend a popular spot for taking photos, about 600 meters from Meoto Rock. This is one of the most popular photo spots in Itoshima City, called "Angel Wings"! It is named after a pair of huge white "angel wings" murals that symbolize dreams and hope, and it is a must-visit for many tourists and photography enthusiasts.
Fukuoka Tower and Seaside Park: Fukuoka Tower is one of Fukuoka's landmarks, offering panoramic views of the entire city and Hakata Bay from its summit. The adjacent seaside park is a great place for a leisurely stroll, where visitors can freely enjoy their last moments of relaxation.
